Behind 8 Birds

Who We Are

Founded in 2012 by a Korean Museum Curator and a Tour Guide/Restaurateur, 8 Birds Tours and Events specializes in authentic South Korea tours that highlight the country’s top attractions, hidden gems, and cultural heritage. Our expertly crafted itineraries offer immersive food experiences, from Korean BBQ to traditional bibimbap, while accommodating all dietary needs. With a strong commitment to safety, reliability, and sustainability, we provide fully insured, stress-free travel experiences through Korea’s breathtaking landscapes.

Our Values

At 8 Birds Tours and Events, we’re not just another travel company – we’re serious about doing tourism right. We only work with local partners in South Korea who actually care about the environment, not just those who slap a green label on their brochures. Our tours support small bio farms that are doing incredible work in sustainable agriculture, giving travelers a real look at how innovative farming can protect our planet. We’re big fans of Seoul’s amazing public transit system, and we always encourage our guests to ditch expensive taxis and hop on the metro or buses. It’s cheaper, faster, and way better for the environment.

Behind “8 Birds”

The name “8 Birds” was inspired by the island name in Korea “Palgeumdo Island” (팔금도) where our Co-Founder of 8 Birds Tours and Events Yoonie Park came from. The “Palgeum”means “8 birds”, and the number “8” sideways is the symbol for infinity to connote all the initiatives 8 Birds Tours and Events strive to achieve.

My wife and I had been eating our way through Seoul for a few days before this tour and we thought we had seen everything. The food tour with Dan was the pefect mix of authenticity, culture, and food.

A bus tour of our family ( 22 ) visiting from USA with Daniel Gray in Seoul going different choice restaurant including 광장시장. It was an impressive arrangement for all of us! And delicious food too.

It's been a few years now that I live in Seoul, tried a lot of restaurants and food... I should have start here!
Good selection of restaurants, visiting a neighborhood I never went and a market, with all the explanations and factoids about what we saw, smelt and ate.

Dee was an outstanding and genuine guide who knew of the best places to take you based on your tastes, preferences in food, and sight seeing desires. Although it's been a while since my actual trip, it's better late than never to write the review!

It was awesome! Yoon was a wonderful guide and took us to local places. Korean BBQ where the food was amazing I've been eating Korean BBQ my whole trip and so far that was my favorite spot.

We went on the 'hipster food tour' and had an excellent time. A lot of delicious traditional food and drink and not a man bun in sight! Dan was fantastic. A definite highlight of our stay in Korea. I would recommend going towards the beginning of your trip, as Dan will be able to give you plenty of tips.
